Question custom catback questions

k so i totally want a catback exhaust but i totally cant afford 5 hundo for one of those magnaflow ones, so all i have sitting in my garage is a really nice fart can someone gave to me, i want that on my car, but i dont really want it to be streight out you know, i want it to come out kind of at an angle facing up a little bit, so i want some piping to make it do that and i want it all installed at like a muffler shop, i was just wondering how much it would cost, i dont want stainless or anything, i know some ppl on evom had this done so tell me about it! thanks

well ... if it helps ... i have no clue what ur talking about ... but if u dont want that fart can .. you can spend 79 bucks and get greddy one from RRM and then have a shop do ur custom piping ... the price will vary ... from 100-250 or so ... i would take it to a smaller shop ... they are always a little cheaper ... as for wanting it angled up ... im sure the shop can bend the piping up .. but that may burn ur bumper ...

Easiest thing is to call around to different shops, I mean we can not quote you on prices but i had mine welded w/ custom piping for 60 bucks.

i just place my car in the shop for $275. this includes stainless steel piping with flanges and custom hangers to clear my sway bar, all Tig welded. So basically it all depends on you on how much you are willing to spend.

I'd already looked into exactly what you're looking to do... Angle the exhaust like the back of a 240 or something. It'd be really difficult once you take a look at the piping on our cars. Ended up going with the Evo II exhaust from RRM anyways; it won't disappoint.

is this what you want? i don't think that you will be able to get that. the undercarriage and exhaust piping route is completely different from EVO.

Id suggest getting just an axelback done, if the pipe and welding costs you more then 60-70$ youre getting ripped off. As for the angle dont do it. Even if you get them to do it youre going to be slamming the bend in the pipe into the ground all the time. The cars you see with it angled like that are b/c of the way the rear axel and suspension falls, ours dont need it.

Might wanna just save up for a nice exhaust. Seems like a waste of money to have a fart can (as you called it) welded on and such only to replace it when the noise gets to you.

your best bet would be to sell that muffler and save up for a nice exhaust system. if you want something that few else have, then get the JIC exhaust
